Beginnings of Civilizations
The document describes the evolution of early human societies from nomadic hunter-gatherer bands in the Paleolithic Age to the rise of early civilizations in places like Sumer, China, the Indus Valley, Mesopotamia, and Ancient Egypt. Key developments included the domestication of plants and animals in the Neolithic Age, which allowed for the growth of permanent villages and surpluses of food, and later the rise of cities with specialized workers, complex institutions, record keeping, and advanced technologies like bronze working.
World History Ch. 2 Section 1 Notes
The document discusses the rise of civilization in ancient Mesopotamia. The fertile land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers gave rise to the world's first civilization, as the geography promoted agriculture but posed challenges that required social organization. This included the Sumerian civilization, known for its system of city-states, invention of writing in the form of cuneiform, and cultural achievements in areas like math, science, and architecture. Subsequent empires like those of Sargon and Hammurabi continued the cultural traditions of Sumer while expanding control over Mesopotamia.
Universal History
- History is the science that collects, relates and interprets knowledge about humans from their origins to the present. It aims to explain past events by understanding causes and consequences.
- The earliest human ancestors lived in Africa around 7 million years ago. Early humans began making stone tools around 2 million years ago and modern humans spread worldwide by around 100,000 years ago.
- The development of farming and permanent settlements during the Neolithic Revolution beginning around 9000 BC led to the rise of early civilizations in places like Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, Egypt, and others.
Sumerian civilization
The Sumerian civilization arose around 4500-4000 BC in the fertile crescent region between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in Mesopotamia. Sumerian society was composed of independent city-states like Ur and Kish that were ruled by kings with both governmental and religious powers, forming a theocratic system. Farming was central to their economy and they developed innovations like the wheel, lunar calendar, and a base-60 number system. Religion was important in Sumerian culture and each city had its own patron deity housed in a ziggurat temple.
Early river valley civilizations
The earliest civilizations formed along river valleys like the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in Mesopotamia. These civilizations developed organized governments, religions, social hierarchies, technologies, and legal systems to manage resources and address environmental challenges like flooding. Notable early civilizations included the Sumerians, who established city-states around 3000 BC and developed innovations like irrigation systems, the wheel, writing, and mathematics. Their culture diffused and empires like Sargon of Akkad's and Hammurabi's Babylonian Empire consolidated power over time. Hammurabi created one of the first legal codes to standardize laws.

Ancient civilizations
Mesopotamia, located in modern-day Iraq, was home to some of the earliest civilizations and major developments in human history. It consisted of two main regions, Assyria in the north and Sumer in the south, which were organized into city-states ruled by kings with the assistance of councils of elders from powerful families. Cities centered around ziggurats and temples and were connected by roads, leading to growth of trade but also conflicts. Notable Mesopotamian developments included the earliest systems of writing in the form of cuneiform on clay tablets, advances in fields like medicine, the invention of the wheel initially for pottery rather than transportation, and the establishment of the first legal codes

Unit 8 early civilizations
Early civilizations first emerged along major river valleys, such as in Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, as well as in ancient Egypt and China. These civilizations were characterized by strong centralized governments, hierarchical societies organized around irrigated agriculture. Writing was developed independently in many early civilizations, often using symbols pressed into wet clay, which allowed them to more effectively organize politically and count resources. Society in early Mesopotamia featured a privileged aristocracy and priests, with underprivileged peasants and craftsmen lacking many rights, including women and slaves. Cities had surrounding walls and prominent ziggurat temples, and contributed innovations including the first written language of cuneiform, early
5 key elements of civilization
The document defines a civilization as an advanced society that exhibits five key elements: centralized government, organized religion, job specialization and social classes, arts/architecture/infrastructure, and writing. It provides examples of each element from American civilization, such as the federal government in Washington D.C., Christianity and other religions, specialized jobs and social classes, famous architecture and public works, and use of the English language. The document is intended to teach students the characteristics of civilizations.
Features Of Civilization
Civilization comes from the Latin word "civitas" meaning city-state. The document outlines several key features of early civilizations including permanent settlements, cities supported by surplus food production, organized central governments and religions, job specialization creating social classes, development of writing systems, and public works projects overseen by centralized leadership.
Groups In Society
This document discusses various topics related to groups and group behavior. It defines what a group is and explores how groups have changed over time as societies transitioned from hunting/gathering to agricultural to industrial. It also examines different types of groups within societies like primary groups based on close relationships and secondary groups based on roles. Additional topics covered include in-groups and out-groups, reference groups, social networks, electronic communities, group size and dynamics, leadership styles, and phenomena like conformity, authority, and groupthink.
What Are The Characteristics Of A Civilization
This document outlines seven key characteristics of civilization: 1) Cities, 2) Central governments and law codes, 3) Writing and record keeping, 4) Specialized jobs, 5) Social classes, 6) Complex technologies, and 7) Highly organized religions. It notes that by 3000 BCE, societies in Southwest Asia and Egypt were developing these elements and that by 1000 BCE civilization had emerged in many parts of the world.
Human Behavior effect on the Environment
This document discusses how human behavior impacts the environment and ways to modify behavior to increase sustainability. It explores how environmental cues and social norms shape actions and examines solutions like increasing green spaces and teaching reduce, reuse and recycle practices. The goal is to decrease environmental damage by understanding behavioral influences and making sustainable choices the norm through communication, habit changes, and emphasizing personal responsibility.
Human impact in the environment
Human activity has significantly impacted the environment through population growth, urban development, industry, agriculture, and livestock. Some of the effects include contamination of water, land and air, loss and alteration of ecosystems, reduced biodiversity, climate change, and diminished water availability. Many forests and fisheries around the world have been severely degraded. Mexico in particular has lost over 37% of its original forest cover and over 80% of fisheries are fully exploited. The document encourages individual action like reducing ecological footprints through conserving water, planting trees, and recycling to help address pressing environmental problems.
Human and Environment
